This outstanding vintage sterling silver statement necklace by the talented Navajo artist Sam Piaso is a masterful example of intricate Southwestern silversmithing. The necklace features five beautifully detailed stations, each showcasing an interestingly shaped Morenci turquoise stone that is bezel set and surrounded by sculptural leaves, three-dimensional flowers, and stamped raindrops. The four side stations are further enhanced with graceful fan shapes that partially wrap over each stone, adding movement and dimension. Decoratively stamped paperclip links connect each station, while melon and round beads provide balance and texture along the necklace. Strung on foxtail and finished with a hook and eye closure, the piece is stamped SAM PIASO STERLING on the back of the center station. The extraordinary level of detail throughout makes this necklace a true collector’s piece and a remarkable example of Navajo artistry.
